Wow. Thanks Victoria. I am a scientist who works in this field and works at LANL and a lurker to this email list. But I'm inspired to post by these beautiful images. They are familiar to me but the idea of using them to showcase the power of the creative transformation possible between science and art is really speaking to me. And it's of course central to the Complex...that's why I'm on this list. :) I'm very interested in how my field (space physics) can reach out to more people and show them the beauty of what we study (the northern lights, the sun, the plasma within the magnetic influence of the Earth and Sun) through these kind of collaborations. For instance, one could do a similar (and potentially extraordinary) project using scientific video of the aurora. If anyone is interested in this idea, please feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to this weekend's activities at the Complex even more now. Thanks so much, Liz MacDonald
